I have been bothered by this issue for few weeks already. The problem started when I upgraded to 14.04. Parts of my screen are sometimes flickering like shown on 2 videos that links I attach below:

I was trying to record it with VLC but suddenly when I start recording then ... it stops flickering :)
I have no idea where can I file a bug for this and which package it may be connected with. Please comment with what it may be connected with and how can I resolve this.
I will post any relevant information regarding the packages if need be.
I use nvidia-334
from xorg edgers package ( 334.21-0ubuntu1~xedgers14.04.1
) but I have also tried others and it's the same issue.
nvidia-331 (331.38-0ubuntu7)
and I have not noticed any flickering for about 24 hours. I will monitor that issue and report later if that's really the solution.
